A tubular lock, sometimes called a circular or radial lock, sets its pins in a ring around a central post, so the key is a hollow cylinder rather than a flat blade. If you have ever fed a vending machine, snapped a bike U-lock shut, or opened a gun cabinet, an arcade cabinet, or an alarm or utility panel, you have already met one. A standard hook or rake is built for pins in a line, so it has nothing to grip in that circle. A tool shaped like the lock does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis one slides over the central post, lines its seven fine picking needles up with the lock's seven pins, and presses them all to the shear line together while you hold light turning pressure. When the barrel gives, you are in. The clever part comes next: the needles hold the depth they found, so you bring the numbered decoder against them and read the bitting straight off the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"uktub7-grid\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"uktub7-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe job\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick and decode 7-pin tubular and circular locks: bike and cable locks, vending, gun cabinets, arcade cabinets, and tubular padlocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"uktub7-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA focused tool for one lock family.

You meet them on bike and cable locks, vending and coin machines, gun and tool cabinets, arcade and pinball cabinets, alarm panels, and many tubular padlocks. A flat pick cannot reach that geometry, which is why this round tool exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does the decoder do?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter you pick the lock, the needles hold the depth they found. You bring the numbered decoder key against them and read each pin's setting off the scale. Write that bitting down and you can repeat the open or have a working key cut, instead of re-picking from scratch every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eI have never picked a tubular lock. Is that ok?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Tubular picking is mostly a steady, even press with light tension, which many people find friendlier than single-pin picking a flat keyway.
